Hi All,

Bought my Accord last week for dirt cheap with full service history, receipts and all that so really chuffed as it's an amazing car to drive! :)

Now back to the topic... Today I noticed after coming back home from work which takes me around 30min to drive that the car barely started. It felt like the starter barely managed to turn the engine on but starting it on a cold morning I had no issues. This is the first time I noticed it and clearly there must be something wrong with it and could not find any info on the forums so was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what might be wrong or if anyone experienced anything like that?

Thanks in advance!
 
I had a similar issue, once or twice on random it took longer to start. Even though its barely a second or two at the very most you do still notice it.
For me the battery was dead a few weeks later. New battery and it hasnt happened since. Been a few months now.
Could be something else but apart from this my battery gave no other warning whatsoever and was totally dead one day. The doors didnt even unlock and the dash lights were barely on. Turning the key did nothing. It was driving around fine the day before
 
Thanks for the input ally. I will be replacing my starter motor as I know that it's going so I was wondering if it might be the problem. If not, I'll just replace the battery.
